Double Blueberry Muffins

Ingredients:
3 cups all purpose flour
1 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
8 T (1 stick) unsalted butter melted
3 large eggs
3/4 cup milk
grated zest and juice of 1 lemon
2 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries [If using frozen blueberries, use them while they are still frozen which will help them hold the shape of the muffin, otherwise, the batter will become too watery.]

Preparing the muffins:
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Line 12 large muffin cups with paper liners and spray the top part of the pan lightly with vegetable oil spray.

Sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon in a large bowl.

Whisk together the butter, eggs, milk, lemon zest, and lemon juice in a separate bowl until well combined.

Place 1 cup of the blueberries in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade and pulse several times until coarsely chopped. Stir the chopped berries into the egg mixture.

Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture and stir just until the dry ingredients are moist and blended. Do not over mix. Fold in the remaining whole blueberries.

Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin pan with a 1/3-cup scoop.

Bake 25 to 30 minutes, until lightly golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Remove from the oven and cool for 5 minutes, then turn the muffins out of the pan.
